Relativistic hydrodynamic and collective phenomena
Theory
Following the BES program at BNL RHIC, we perform a similar collision energy scan using a 3+1D viscous hydrodynamics coupled to the UrQMD hadron cascade. We study how the collision energy affects the bulk observables: rapidity distributions and $m_T$-spectra of identified particles, elliptic, triangular flow and HBT radii, including azimuthally-sensitive HBT. In our calculations we use an...

Correlations and fluctuations
Theory
We investigate the effects of the global charge conservation on the rapidity window dependences of fluctuations of conserved charges observed in heavy ion collisions by solving the diffusion master equation with boundaries. Our result suggests that the effect of the global charge conservation for the diffusion in the hadronic phase is negligible in the experimental results even with the...

QCD at high temperature/density and LQCD
Theory
Fluctuations in the conserved charges of the strong interaction are important probes in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, which provide an excellent opportunity for revealing details in the phase structure of QCD matter. Recently, net-electric charge and net-proton fluctuations measured in the beam energy scan program at RHIC were reported by the STAR collaboration. In this talk, we present a...

Correlations and fluctuations
Experimental
Non-statistical event-by-event fluctuations in relativistic heavy ion collisions have been proposed as probe of phase instabilities near the QCD phase transition. In a thermodynamical picture of the strongly interacting system formed in heavy-ion collisions, the fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum, mean multiplicity, balance function, net-particle higher moments etc. are related to...

Correlations and fluctuations
Experimental
Recently a non-zero charge dependence of two-particle correlation relative to the reaction plane in relativistic heavy-ion collisions was observed by RHIC and LHC experiments. The interpretation of these results is a hot topic of debate in the heavy-ion community because of its possible implication for our understanding of parity violation in strong interactions. We extend the ALICE...
